Subject: Sick ferret...
Our ferrets found their way into our couch, and one of them apparently ate
some of the stuffing. She is throwing up, and lost some weight. She is
still eating and drinking, and playing - acting normal. It's hard to say
about the stools...we have 3 ferts...I am going to keep her seperate over
the weekend so I can check that out. Our vet said partial blockage
possibly. She was prescribed a medicine (can't remember the name! I'll send
it later..) To help coat her tummy. Vet said the blockage can disrupt the
stomach wall and the mucus(?) that normaly coats it. I am also giving her a
good amount of hairball remedy stuff daily.
Anyone agree or disagree with the vets recommended course of treatment?
Would love to get some help on this, it's the first ferret illness we have
had, not sure what I am doing!
Thanks in advance
Mandie and Rasta
